Event-related

Access to Leafallia is only granted to those who have progressed to a particular point in the newly-added Chapter 4 of the Seekers of Adoulin mission.

Geomancers of Rune Fencer may now obtain Ergon Weapons.

Ergon Weapons are mythic-equivalent weapons for geomancers and rune fencers, and can be obtained by completing a special quest.

Undertaking the quests
Geomancers and rune fencers have different prerequisites for undertaking their respective quests.

Geomancers

Have completed the quest “The Communion”

Be at the rank of “Legend” for all coalitions

Rune Fencers

Have completed the quest “Destiny’s Device”

Be at the rank of “Legend” for all coalitions

Notes
Players may undertake both of these quests at once, but at a certain point players will be tasked with delivering certain items to a particular NPC. At this point, players are only able to deliver items for one of the two jobs.* Players will have to abandon their current quest in order to deliver items for the other quest, and all items previously delivered will be lost upon so doing.

NPCs offering the quests
Players will be able to receive one of these quests by fulfilling the above prerequisites and speaking to the following NPCs.

Geomancer

Nhili Uvolep in Eastern Adoulin (I-7)

Rune Fencers

Gaddiux in Western Adoulin (J-10)

High-purity bayld
Throughout the quests, players will need to obtain items known as “high-purity bayld.”

Obtaining high-purity bayld
High-purity bayld can be obtained through all manner of reives.

Obtained from Colonization and Lair Reives
Players will sometimes receive high-purity bayld by reaching a certain minimum evaluation through participating in a reive.
Colonization reives are more likely to provide high-purity bayld than lair reives. * Even after players have met the minimum evaluation level to receive high-purity bayld, the odds that they will receive it will continue to increase in line with increases in evaluation.

Obtained from Wildskeeper Reives
Players will always receive high-purity bayld by successfully vanquishing a Naakual as long as they receive a certain level of evaluation.
